They Hacked Everyone.
Andy Coulson in fresh bid to appeal over legal fees
11 March 2012
By PA Media Lawyer
Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson has renewed his application for permission to appeal against a High Court decision that News Group Newspapers (NGN) does not have to pay his potential legal costs over the phone-hacking affair.
The renewed application means he will get an oral hearing of the application.
The Casetracker website run by the Ministry of Justice says the case has been listed for a hearing on for permission to appeal 8 May in front of a three-judge panel consisting of Lord Justice Maurice Kay, Vice President of the Court of Appeal Civil Division, Lord Justice Etherton, and Lord Justice Aikens.
Coulson's original application for permission to appeal was refused, on the papers, by Sir Richard Buxton, a former Lord Justice, on 14 February.
Coulson reportedly put his detached south London house on the market for GBP1.6 million after the original ruling in December in which Justice Supperstone rejected his bid and ordered him to pay NGN's costs.
His lawyers had argued that a clause in his severance deal meant NGN should pay professional costs and expenses incurred by him "in defending allegations of criminal conduct" during his tenure as editor.
In July last year Coulson, who had resigned as Prime Minister David Cameron's communications director the previous January, and who has consistently denied any wrongdoing, was arrested then bailed by officers from Operation Weeting, the Metropolitan Police investigation into phone-hacking at the News of the World.

Attempted Suicide At News International.
LONDON (Reuters) - Two senior journalists working for Rupert Murdoch's News International have apparently attempted suicide as pressure mounts at the scandal-hit publisher of the now-defunct News of the World.
Three sources close to the company told Reuters on Tuesday the two journalists at the Sun daily appeared to have tried to take their own lives. Investigations sparked by a phone-hacking scandal continue to expose dubious practices by present and past employees.
Eleven current and former staff of the Sun, Britain's best-selling daily tabloid, have been arrested this year on suspicion of bribing police or civil servants for tip-offs.
Their arrests have come as a result of information provided to the police by the Management and Standards Committee (MSC), a body set up by parent company News Corp to facilitate police investigations and liaise with the courts.
The work of the MSC, which was set up to be independent of the conglomerate's British newspaper arm News International, has caused bitterness among staff, many of whom feel betrayed by an employer they have loyally served.
"People think that they've been thrown under a bus," one News International employee told Reuters. "They're beyond angry - there's an utter sense of betrayal, not just with the organisation but with a general lynch-mob hysteria."
News International is facing multiple criminal investigations and civil court cases as well as a public inquiry into press standards after long-simmering criticism of its practices came to a head last July.
Politicians once close to Murdoch, including Prime Minister David Cameron, turned their backs on him and demanded answers after the Guardian newspaper revealed the News of the World had hacked the phone of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler.
Police officer Sue Akers, who is heading three criminal inquiries into News International, said last week there appeared to have been "a culture of illegal payments" at the Sun.
Staff at the tabloid have been under additional pressure for the past two weeks because they have also had to produce a Sunday paper, hastily announced by Murdoch to replace the News of the World.
News International has increased the level of psychiatric help available to employees to help them cope.

News Of The World And Murder.
Call for public inquiry in murder case with NoW links
5 August 2011
By Dominic Ponsford
Lawyers acting for the family of a murdered private detective have called for a new public inquiry which could shed more light on corrupt relationships between police and journalists.
Daniel Morgan was murdered with an axe in 1987 but despite five police investigations no-one has ever been convicted of his murder.
In March last year Morgan's former business partner Jonathan Rees was one of three men acquitted of Morgan's murder when the trial collapsed after 20-months of pre-trial hearings.
BBC Panorama revealed in March this year that Rees and his company, Southern Investigations, was widely used by journalists to find out secret information. Rees was used by the Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror to probe the bank accounts of Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and Prince Michael of Kent in 1999.
Rees was also used by the News of the World and rehired by the paper after his release from prison in 2005 following his conviction for a serious criminal offence.
During the emergency Commons debate on phone-hacking on 7 July, MP Tom Watson alleged that the News of the World had interfered with a murder investigation in 2002.
Press Gazette understands that the murder investigation in question was into the death of Daniel Morgan.
Watson said: "Rebekah Brooks was present at a meeting with Scotland Yard when police officers pursuing a murder investigation provided her with evidence that her newspaper was interfering with the pursuit of justice.
"They gave her the name of another senior executive at News International, Alex Marunchak. At the meeting, which included Dick Fedorcio of the Metropolitan police, she was told that News of the World staff were guilty of interference and party to using unlawful means to attempt to discredit a police officer and his wife.
"Rebekah Brooks was told of actions by people whom she paid to expose and discredit David Cook and his wife Jackie Haines, so that Mr Cook would be prevented from completing an investigation into a murder. News International was paying people to interfere with police officers and was doing so on behalf of known criminals. We know now that News International had entered the criminal underworld.
"Rebekah Brooks cannot deny being present at that meeting when the actions of people whom she paid were exposed. She cannot deny now being warned that under her auspices unlawful tactics were used for the purpose of interfering with the pursuit of justice. She cannot deny that one of her staff, Alex Marunchak, was named and involved.
"She cannot deny either that she was told by the police that her own paper was using unlawful tactics, in that case to help one of her lawbreaking investigators. This, in my view, shows that her culpability goes beyond taking the blame as head of the organisation; it is about direct knowledge of unlawful behaviour. Was Mr Marunchak dismissed? No. He was promoted."
This meeting was also brought up during Commons media select committee questions to Rebekah Brooks and former Met Police assistant commissioner John Yates last month. Brooks said that it was extraordinary that Rees was re-hired by the News of the World in 2005 after a serious criminal conviction.
Daniel Morgan's brother Alastair said: "For almost a quarter of a century, my family has done everything possible to secure justice for Daniel and to expose police corruption. For much of this time, we have encountered stubborn obstruction and worse at the highest levels of the Metropolitan Police.
"We have found an impotent police complaints system and met with inertia or worse on the part of successive governments. We have been failed utterly by all of the institutions designed to protect us. We have seen for ourselves a criminal justice system which has proved incapable of coming to terms with the murder or the subsequent criminality of those charged with enforcing the law.
"In the midst of what is a tragic mess for my family, we recognise that those responsible for the most recent prosecution, police officers and lawyers alike, have done their utmost to redress the catastrophic failures of earlier investigations. Nevertheless, despite their best efforts, the fact remains that there has been no public scrutiny of the evidence available in relation to Daniel’s murder.
"We find real significance in recent and continuing revelations around the News of the World affair in relation to the close relationships between NoW journalists, corrupt police officers and some of those charged with Daniel’s murder.
"In that light, we call upon the Home Secretary now to order a full judicial inquiry into this sorry state of affairs. We consider that the material placed before her cries out for proper public scrutiny of the murder and its handling by the police and the prosecuting authorities over the years. We know she will need courage to ensure that there is such scrutiny - courage which we have found to be signally lacking in her predecessors.”
Lawyers acting for the Morgan family have sent the Home Secretary a detailed submission setting out the grounds for a judicial inquiry into the case.
On 31 March, 2011, acting Met Commissioner Tim Godwin apologised to the Morgan family and acknowledged publicly that there had been a “repeated failure by the MPS over many years following Daniel’s murder to accept that corruption had played such a significant part in failing to bring those responsible to justice”.
He said: “We recognise that we have to take responsibility for the consequences of the repeated failure of the MPS over the years to confront the role played by police corruption in protecting those responsible for the murder from being brought to justice.”

GlaxoSmithKline Fined For Baby Deaths.
GSK fined after over vaccine trials; 14 babies reported dead
By Javier Cardenal Taján
BuenosAiresHerald.com staff
http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/88922/gsk-lab-fined-over-vaccine-tests-that-killed-14--babies
GlaxoSmithKline Argentina Laboratories Company was fined 400,000 pesos by Judge Marcelo Aguinsky following a report issued by the National Administration of Medicine, Food and Technology (ANMAT in Spanish) for irregularities during lab vaccine trials conducted between 2007 and 2008 that allegedly killed 14 babies.
Likewise, two doctors -Héctor Abate, and Miguel Tregnaghi- were fined with 300,000 pesos each for irregularities during the studies.
The charges included experimenting with human beings as well falsifying parental authorizations so babies could participate in vaccine-trials conducted by the laboratory from 2007 to 2008.
Since 2007, 15,000 children under the age of one from Mendoza, San Juan and Santiago del Estero have been included in the research protocol, a statement of what the study is trying to achieve. Babies were recruited from poor families that attended to public hospitals.
A total of seven babies died in Santiago del Estero; five in Mendoza; and two in San Juan.
Pediatrician Ana Marchese, who reported the case through the Argentine Federation of Health Professionals (FESPROSA in Spanish), and was working at the Eva Perón children's public hospital in Santiago del Estero when the studies wee being conducted, said this morning in conversations with Continental AM radio that "GSK Argentina set an protocol at the hospital, and recruited several doctors working there.”
"These doctors took advantage of many illiterate parents whom take their children for treatment by pressuring and forcing them into signing these 28-page consent forms and getting them involved in the trials.”
"Laboratories can't experiment in Europe or the United States, so they come to do it in third-world countries."
Colombian and Panama were also chosen by GSK as staging grounds for trials of the vaccine against the pneumococcal bacteria.
Likewise, Marchese, explained the modus operandi: "Once a picked patient arrived, it would automatically disappear to be taken somewhere else in order to be treated by those doctors specially recruited by GSK. These kind of practices are not legal and occurred without any type of state control, plus they don't comply with minimum ethical requirements.”
Marchese also remembered that "laboratory trials on human beings are not legalized in Argentina.”
Furthermore, the pediatrician explained that "it is also known that in various particular cases, the doctors who had conducted the trials did not answer the calls made by the worried parents after witnessing their babies' reactions to the vaccines.”
According to Marchese, "there already exist very good vaccines for the same diseases, but we all know how laboratories work, they only care for their own business.”
To end, Doctor Marchese aimed to Santiago del Estero Governor, Gerardo Zamora, who "never ever came out to stage to comment on the case, and same happened with national deputies and senators that didn't even bother into discussing a hot topic that was echoed worldwide. I'm also ashamed of the scientific community that also kept its mouth shut.”
Julieta Ovejero, great aunt of one of the six babies who died in Santiago del Estero, said that "A lot of people wanted to leave the protocol but they weren't allowed; they forced them to continue under the threat that if they leave they won't receive any other vaccine.”
During 2008, the vaccine trial was still ongoing despite the reports issued by FESPROSA, and those in charge of the study told reporters that the procedures were being carried out in a lawful manner.
On the contrary, the ruling states that the laboratory as well the involved doctors broke all legal requirements for conducting clinical tests on babies.
Surprisingly, during same year pediatrician Enrique Smith, one of the lead investigators told reporters: "Only 12 have died throughout the country, which is a very low figure if we compare it with the deaths produced by respiratory illnesses caused by the pneumococcal bacteria.”
In Santiago del Estero, one of the country's poorest provinces, the trials were authorized when Enrique's brother, Juan Carlos Smith, was provincial health minister.
According to Fesprosa, "the laboratory paid $8,000 pesos for each child included in the study, but none (of that money) remained in the province that lends the public facilities and the health personnel for the private research.”
Meanwhile, a press communiqué was released by the ANMAT indicating that the irregularities detected during the COMPASS vaccine trial programme were related to "failures in the process of obtaining informed consent for participation, hence violating patients' rights, and the inclusion of patients that did not fully meet the required clinical conditions to be submitted to the programme.”
Furthermore, the release states that "We [ANMAT] expressly remark that none of the deaths mentioned in the news stories were related to the vaccines given as part of the COMPASS programme, since all the involved patients had received blind placebo, which is a simile of the vaccine but without any active substance. The vaccine is safe.”

GlaxoSmithKline Argentina Laboratories Company was fined 400,000 pesos by Judge Marcelo Aguinsky following a report issued by the National Administration of Medicine, Food and Technology (ANMAT in Spanish) for irregularities during lab vaccine trials conducted between 2007 and 2008 that allegedly killed 14 babies.
Likewise, two doctors -Héctor Abate, and Miguel Tregnaghi- were fined with 300,000 pesos each for irregularities during the studies.
The charges included experimenting with human beings as well falsifying parental authorizations so babies could participate in vaccine-trials conducted by the laboratory from 2007 to 2008.
Since 2007, 15,000 children under the age of one from Mendoza, San Juan and Santiago del Estero have been included in the research protocol, a statement of what the study is trying to achieve. Babies were recruited from poor families that attended to public hospitals.
A total of seven babies died in Santiago del Estero; five in Mendoza; and two in San Juan.
Pediatrician Ana Marchese, who reported the case through the Argentine Federation of Health Professionals (FESPROSA in Spanish), and was working at the Eva Perón children's public hospital in Santiago del Estero when the studies wee being conducted, said this morning in conversations with Continental AM radio that "GSK Argentina set an protocol at the hospital, and recruited several doctors working there.”
"These doctors took advantage of many illiterate parents whom take their children for treatment by pressuring and forcing them into signing these 28-page consent forms and getting them involved in the trials.”
"Laboratories can't experiment in Europe or the United States, so they come to do it in third-world countries."
Colombian and Panama were also chosen by GSK as staging grounds for trials of the vaccine against the pneumococcal bacteria.
Likewise, Marchese, explained the modus operandi: "Once a picked patient arrived, it would automatically disappear to be taken somewhere else in order to be treated by those doctors specially recruited by GSK.

Get On Your Bike.
David Cameron says it's time for people to stop complaining about benefit cuts and 'go out and get work' instead.
Yesterday saw a major blow to the Government's plans for benefit reform. The House of Lords added an amendment to exclude child benefits from the benefits cap, in order to protect vulnerable children in larger families.
Controversy
However, the government isn't having a bar of it. They plan to push the reforms through, and during the debate David Cameron made his disdain for benefit scroungers perfectly obvious.
The controversial plan is to cap the maximum benefits that any household can receive at £26,000 - which is what the average family brings home between them. This would more than likely mean many more compromises for people on benefits. Many will have to leave expensive areas and move into cheaper properties. Many more will see their standard of living drop.
The House of Lords amendment was made out of concern for very large families. There are at least 190 families with 10 or more children who are dependent on benefits, who would clearly struggle with a cap.
However, the government is insistent that people should not be able to breed their way around the new rules, and that no-one should get more than the cap - so that working is always a better option. It plans to take the Bill back to the House of Commons, where it could overturn the amendment.
Cameron's colours
During the debate, Cameron's comments revealed just how passionately he believed a culture of benefit entitlement has to go. In what seems like a bit of a step away from his 'hug a hoodie' reputation, he insisted that if people couldn't live with the cap, then maybe they ought to get themselves a job instead.
He said: "In many cases the answer will be for someone in that family to go out and work, and that will be the right answer for that family.We have too many children growing up in our country in households where nobody works, where a life on welfare has become an acceptable alternative".
"The way children suffer today, there are far too many children in households where no one is working," he said. "And one of the reasons why in some households no one is working is because welfare has become so available."

Free Bradley Manning.
The railroading of Bradley Manning is getting out of control.
Lt. Col. Paul Almanza, the investigating officer in Manning's Article 32 hearing has recommended that Manning face a court-martial for all 23 charges of which he is accused. 1
The charges Almanza has recommended are absurdly disproportionate to the acts Manning is accused of committing — the most egregious being "aiding the enemy," a charge that carries a possible penalty of life imprisonment. This charge rests on the government's dubious claim that Manning knowingly provided intelligence to terrorist groups like al-Qaeda, because he knew Wikileaks might publish the information on the internet.
Almanza's recommendation will now move up the chain of command, where Maj. Gen. Michael Linnington will ultimately decide if Manning should be court-martialed, and on what charges. Can you help us stop this snowballing, unfounded attempt to paint Manning as a traitor?
Call the Department of Defense right now, leave a message for Maj. Gen. Linnington asking him to drop the "aiding the enemy" charges against Bradley Manning.
Click here for a phone number and a sample script: http://action.firedoglake.com/page/s/manning-call
Manning's supporters see Lt. Col. Almanza's recommendation as just another step in what is becoming a sham trial. Almanza himself served as a prosecutor for the Justice Department, which is also investigating Manning, but refused to recuse himself as investigating officer. Manning's lawyer, David Coombs, claims the DOJ wants to flip Manning and have him testify against Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.2
Of the 48 witnesses requested by Manning, Almanza only allowed 12 to testify - 10 of which were also requested by the government. Coombs has requested oral depositions of the denied witnesses, who he says have the potential to show how baseless the "aiding the enemy" charge really is. The fact that they were denied testimony in the first place says a lot about the reasoning behind such a severe accusation.
This entire process has not only been insanely cruel, it is setting a dangerous precedent for how the government deals with whistleblowers. We must stand up to the overcharging of Bradley Manning. His life and the safety of all whistleblowers depend on it. Can you call the Department of Defense, and urge Maj. Gen. Linnington to use his power to stop the over-zealous prosecution of Bradley Manning?

US Troops Deployed In Israel.
ttp://www.whiteoutpress.com/articles/q12012/us-troops-going-to-israel483/
US Troops going to Israel
In one of the most blacked-out stories in America right now, the US military is preparing to send thousands of US troops, along with US Naval anti-missile ships and accompanying support personnel, to Israel. It took forever to find a second source for confirmation of this story and both relatively mainstream media outlets are in Israel. With one source saying the military deployment and corresponding exercises are to occur in January, the source providing most of the details suggests it will occur later this spring.
Calling it not just an “exercise”, but a “deployment”, the Jerusalem Post quotes US Lt.-Gen Frank Gorenc, Commander of the US Third Air Force based in Germany. The US Commander visited Israel two weeks ago to confirm details for “the deployment of several thousand American soldiers to Israel.” In an effort to respond to recent Iranian threats and counter-threats, Israel announced the largest ever missile defense exercise in its history. Now, it’s reported that the US military, including the US Navy, will be stationed throughout Israel, also taking part.
While American troops will be stationed in Israel for an unspecified amount of time, Israeli military personnel will be added to EUCOM in Germany. EUCOM stands for United States European Command.
In preparation for anticipated Iranian missile attacks upon Israel, the US is reportedly bringing its THAAD, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, and ship-based Aegis ballistic missile systems to Israel. The US forces will join Israeli missile defense systems like the Patriot and Arrow. The deployment comes with “the ultimate goal of establishing joint task forces in the event of a large-scale conflict in the Middle East”.
The Jerusalem Post reports that US Lt.-Gen Frank Gorenc was in Israel meeting with his Israeli counterpart, Brig.-Gen Doron Gavish, commander of the Air Defense Division. While there, the US General visited one of Israel’s three ‘Iron Dome’ anti-missile outposts. The Israeli Air Force has announced plans to deploy a fourth Iron Dome system in the coming months. Additional spending increases in the Jewish state will guarantee the manufacture and deployment of three more Iron Dome systems by the end of 2012. The Israelis are hoping to eventually have at least a dozen of the anti-missile systems deployed along its northern and southern borders.
In a show of escalated tensions in the region, Iran test fired two long range missiles today. One, called the Qadar, is a powerful sea-to-shore missile. The other was an advanced surface-to-surface missile called the Nour. According to Iranian state news, the Nour is an ‘advanced radar-evading, target-seeking, guided and controlled missile’. Additionally, the Iranian military reportedly test-fired numerous other short, medium and long-range missiles. Yesterday, Iranian authorities reported that they test-fired the medium-range, surface-to-air, radar-evading Mehrab missile. Today is supposed to be the final day of Iranian naval drills in the Straits of Hormuz.
Iran recently made global headlines when it threatened to blockade the Straits of Hormuz if Europe and the US went ahead with their boycott of Iranian oil and the country’s central bank. One-quarter of the world’s oil passes through that waterway every day. President Obama has announced that a closure of the Straits was unacceptable and vowed to take whatever measures are necessary to keep the vital shipping lane open.
In response to the Iranian missile tests this weekend, French authorities were the first to respond, calling it a, “very bad signal to the international community."We want to underline that the development by Iran of a missile program is a source of great concern to the international community,"the French Foreign Ministry said in a written statement. Israeli officials suggested the flamboyant Iranian military drills this weekend were a sign that international sanctions on the country were taking a heavy toll and that any additional boycotts, on its banks or oil industry, would be crippling.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the large missile tests showed, “the dire straits of Iran in light of the tightening sanctions around her, including the considerations in the last few days regarding the sanctions of exporting petroleum as well as the possibility of sanctions against the Iranian Central Bank." While the chances of Iran going through with its threat of closing the Straits of Hormuz are slim, the deployment of thousands of US troops and naval ships to Israel shows the US isn’t taking any chances.

In response to the Iranian missile tests this weekend, French authorities were the first to respond, calling it a, “very bad signal to the international community."We want to underline that the development by Iran of a missile program is a source of great concern to the international community,"the French Foreign Ministry said in a written statement. Israeli officials suggested the flamboyant Iranian military drills this weekend were a sign that international sanctions on the country were taking a heavy toll and that any additional boycotts, on its banks or oil industry, would be crippling.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the large missile tests showed, “the dire straits of Iran in light of the tightening sanctions around her, including the considerations in the last few days regarding the sanctions of exporting petroleum as well as the possibility of sanctions against the Iranian Central Bank." While the chances of Iran going through with its threat of closing the Straits of Hormuz are slim, the deployment of thousands of US troops and naval ships to Israel shows the US isn’t taking any chances.

WATCHING YOU...WATCHING ME: #Qorvis #BellPottinger : #Oslo Freedom Forum
Maryam al-Khawaja took the stage at the Oslo Freedom Forum
last Tuesday and stunned the audience with her experiences of
government violence in the Kingdom of Bahrain. She described the killing
of student protestors, the torture of democracy advocates, and how
human rights defenders are "disappeared." Maryam also detailed how
troops from a neighboring dictatorship, Saudi Arabia, rushed into
Bahrain to prop up the crown prince's regime.
Ali Abdulemam, a renowned Bahraini blogger, was also invited to the Oslo Freedom Forum.
Ali was imprisoned by his government in September 2010 for "spreading
false information." After being released on February 23, he
enthusiastically accepted his speaking invitation and plans were made
for his travel. And then he disappeared. No one has seen or heard from
him since March 18...

News International Bought Off Everyone.
From
http://newsallianceuk.wordpress.com/
In the fierce heat of the Hackgate firestorm in July this year, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg took to Sky News to air his views on News International.
His most damning statement was “The Leveson Inquiry should investigate senior British Intelligence officers on the payroll of News International.” It was a devastating revelation.
The Oxbridge criminals and Eton mafia who run MI5 and MI6 had not seen it coming, just like 7/7, and it blew up in their faces. Behind the scenes, MI5 Director General Jonathan Evans pulled strings to ensure Clegg did not drop the bombshell again.
The spooks were deeply rattled. Exposure means the end of milking the taxpayer dry. And the thought of a criminal investigation into their innumerable crimes, too much to contemplate.
They did not need to worry. MI5 have primacy over the police and the plods would do as ordered and turn blind eyes. Special Branch units would ensure blind obedience and any dissident would be persuaded otherwise.
The main problem was Nick Clegg. Would he keep stumb?
Since his petulant ‘outburst’ on Sky News in July in the eye of the storm, Clegg has kept his mouth shut on the foregoing. No more allegations of corruption or treason inside MI5 and MI6.
The Oxbridge crooks must have hoped no one noticed what Clegg said but I was on the matter immediately. I spread the good news through Facebook and Twitter. The damage was done.
Of course, the spooks have been trying to silence me for several years and have not succeeded just yet. Perhaps a prosecution for Income Tax evasion, their usual dirty trick, would do the job? Not convinced? I am assured it is already in the pipeline…
Which begs the question why anyone would want to pay ‘taxes’ to finance an organised criminal gang?
And Clegg of course has kept his big mouth shut since July. Having asked him to explain his statement several times, Clegg has ignored the questions and tried to pretend his ‘outburst’ never happened.
Poor Clegg must bitterly regret speaking the truth because politicians rarely do and dropping the spooks in the stinking cesspit that is Hackgate, is intolerable for the rotten Establishment.
Judge Leveson refuses to ‘investigate’ the allegation by Clegg and will not allow the issue to be dealt with even in camera. Another tame little judge…
The ‘crusading’ clowns at The Guardian, apparently a ‘moral’ newspaper, refuse to touch the matter in its entirety. As usual, the puppet media are running scared of the spooks who know all their sordid secrets.
Have the spooks got away with selling State ‘secrets’ to News International for large sums of cash? For the time being certainly but “events dear boy, events” will intervene in due course and then the whole house of cards will come crashing down.
As for Nick Clegg, he’s a spineless, self-interested MP, who jumped in at the deep end and found he couldn’t swim with the big fish.
The “senior British Intelligence officers on the payroll of News International” however, will come to regret the day they sold their souls to the Murdoch mafia.
Nick Clegg of course is busy trying to get to grips with the unwritten articles of the Omerta….

My brother Daniel: Thoughts on Leveson and events in 1998
Next week Leveson will be hearing witnesses. Of these, I will be
particularly interested in hearing Steven Nott, Ian Hurst and Jacqui
Hames.
Steven is the guy who accidentally discovered how to hack voicemails,
warned the police, customs, MI5 and the newspapers, but was completely
ignored by all of them for years. Ian Hurst is the former army
intelligence officer whose computer was hacked for NoW and Jacqui Hames
is the wife of David Cook, the officer in charge of the fourth and fifth
investigations into Daniel's murder.
In June 2002, Jacqui Hames and David Cook took part in a Crimewatch
appeal for witnesses that could help solve Daniel's murder. The police
were particularly interested in a woman who came forward after the first
Crimewatch appeal in May 1987. The woman had told police that she'd
overheard a group of men in a pub, The Harp in West Croydon, plotting to
murder Daniel...
